US Central Command announces $20M reward for info on Iranian nuclear program

US Central Command announces a $20 million reward for information on Iran's nuclear program, despite President Trump's claims it has been obliterated. Trump also confirms new limited US strikes on an Iranian air defense system. The developments come after Republicans lost both chambers of Congress in midterm elections.

US Central Command has announced a reward of up to $20 million and possible relocation for information about Iran's nuclear program, including its facilities, equipment, and associated personnel. The announcement comes despite President Donald Trump's repeated claims that the program has been obliterated. Separately, Trump confirmed that the US military carried out new limited strikes on Iran, targeting an Iranian air defense system on Qeshm Island. Trump described the action as "minor," saying the US knocked out an anti-aircraft device in about 15 minutes. The strikes are the first since Trump's Republican Party lost both chambers of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, a setback partly driven by voter dissatisfaction with the war and elevated fuel prices. Iranian state media, citing an army spokesman, reported that Iran's military is now "stronger" and more motivated than at the start of the war in February.
